Here is the full code. as you can see ive commented out much of it to try
and narrow down the problem. Ive used an echo to check that the session
variables are valid. but the file just will not move

$userid=$_SESSION[userid];
$delquest=$_SESSION[delquest];
$archivequest=$_SESSION[archivequest];
$changedquests=$_SESSION[changed];
$questids=$_SESSION[questids];
$imagechanged=$_SESSION[imagechanged];
$delimage=$_SESSION['delimage'];
$msg=$_SESSION['msg'];
$uploadedfile=$_SESSION['uploadedfile'];
$imagepath=$_SESSION['imagepath'];
$questuserid=$_SESSION[questuserid];
$imagequestindex=$_SESSION[imagequestindex];

if(count($imagechanged)>0){
$targetdir = "pupiltester/";
$tempdir= "temp/";
$allowed_file_types = "(jpg|jpeg|gif|bmp|png)";
for ($x = 0; $x < count($imagequestindex); $x++){
if(!empty($uploadedfile["name"][$x])){

$target_path = $targetdir . basename($uploadedfile["name"][$x]);
$temp_path = $tempdir. basename($uploadedfile["name"][$x]);
$imagefile=$imagepath[$x];
echo "Userid - ".$questuserid[$x]." Target - ".$target_path." Temp -
".$temp_path." To replace - ".$imagefile."<br>";
copy("$temp_path", "$target_path");
//if($uploadedfile["size"][$x] < 35841) {
//if(preg_match("/\." . $allowed_file_types . "$/i",
$uploadedfile["name"][$x])) {
if(file_exists($target_path)){
//if($questuserid[$x]=$userid){
$sql2 = "UPDATE questions SET
ImagePath='".$uploadedfile["name"][$x]."' WHERE ImagePath='".$imagefile."'";
$addquest = mysql_query($sql2) or $msg.="<br><span
class='RedWarning'>Problem adding image name ".$uploadedfile['name'][$x]."
to database: " . mysql_error()."</span>";

if(file_exists($targetdir.$imagefile)){unlink($targetdir.$imagefile);}
//$msg.="<br><span class='greenbody'>Link formed to your existing
file by the name of ".$uploadedfile["name"][$x].".</span>";
//}else{
//$msg.="<br><span class='RedWarning'>A image by the name of
".$uploadedfile["name"][$x]." already exists for another users question.
Please rename it and try again.</span>";
//}
}else{
rename($temp_path, $target_path);
//if(move_uploaded_file($temp_path, $target_path)){
//$msg.="<br><span class='greenbody'>Uploaded the image
".$uploadedfile["name"][$x]." (" .$uploadedfile["type"][$x]. ",
".ceil($uploadedfile["size"][$x] / 1024) . " Kb).</span>";
//if($uploadedfile['name'][$x]!==''){
$sql2 = "UPDATE questions SET
ImagePath='".$uploadedfile["name"][$x]."' WHERE ImagePath='".$imagefile."'";
$addquest = mysql_query($sql2) or $msg.="<br><span
class='RedWarning'>Problem adding image name ".$uploadedfile['name'][$x]."
to database: " . mysql_error()."</span>";

if(file_exists($targetdir.$imagefile)){unlink($targetdir.$imagefile);}
//}
//}else{
//$msg.="<br><span class='Red Warning'>Error uploading image -
".$uploadedfile['name'][$x].$uploadedfile['error'][$x]."</span>";
//}
}
//}else{
//$msg.="<br><span
class='RedWarning'>".$uploadedfile['name'][$x].$uploadedfile['error'][$x]."
not uploaded. Not a valid image file.</span>";
//}
//}else{
//$msg.="<br><span class='RedWarning'>".$uploadedfile['name'][$x]." is
greater than 35Kb.</span>";
//}
}
}
